How to apply wrinkle filler and which one is best?

What is wrinkle filler for?

With a little imagination, we could say that wrinkle filler is like a “magic concealer” or an “Instagram filter” in cream format. The main purpose is to fill in wrinkles and expression lines on our face to get rid of those grooves in an instant, leaving our skin even and smooth. The following are the keys to how it works and why it is so much in demand:

• Immediate “erasing” effect: once it has been applied, those crow's feet disappear as if by magic in a couple of minutes.
• Wave goodbye to those makeup grooves: this product makes a barrier so that your makeup looks evenly impeccable, and does not highlight small wrinkles even more.
• Where do we use it? It just needs to be applied by dabbing it on gently in certain areas such as between our eyebrows, around our eyes or in the corner of our mouth, rather than all over our face.
• Double tip: you will look great in an instant because it covers up any relief, but a lot of them also contain hyaluronic acid or retinol, which hydrate and hide wrinkles while you are wearing it.

It is the perfect ally if you have an event or simply feel like showing off firm, rested skin on that day.

Steps for applying wrinkle filler to your skin 

1. Clean your skin first: clean your face to get rid of any makeup, impurities or oil to get the area ready for the product.
2. Apply directly: use the precision applicator provided in the packaging to apply the product directly to deep wrinkles or expression lines.
3. Gentle pressure (dabbing): apply slight pressure using your fingertips in the shape of a stamp over the wrinkle to help the product penetrate and fill the area.
4. Let it absorb: wait a few minutes for the filler to settle and work before applying any moisturising cream or makeup.
5. Day/night routine: use it twice a day for the best results, or as a makeup foundation, following the instructions on the packaging.

Which one should I choose for my skin?

To choose the right wrinkle filler, you should first know your specific needs, since each type of skin will require different active ingredients and textures. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, you will need a cream that provides deep nourishing, preferably containing high molecular weight hyaluronic acid to retain moisture on the surface.

On the other hand, if you have oily or mixed skin, you should choose gel textures or more liquid serums without any oil, that are quickly absorbed in order to avoid blocking your pores or creating any unwanted shine.

To finish off, sensitive skins will require special care, and it is therefore best to look for hypo-allergenic products, without any artificial fragrances, containing calming agents that repair the natural skin barrier. For specific needs, a filler containing hyaluronic acid could be the perfect solution for an ideal finish.
